Stone Soup

By: Marcia Brown

Three clever soldiers arrive in a village, hungry and tired, only to find that the townspeople are unwilling to share their food. Using their wits, the soldiers begin making “stone soup” with just a pot and some water. Curious and intrigued, the villagers each contribute a little something, and before long, a delicious feast is shared by all. Based on an old French folktale, this Caldecott Honor book celebrates generosity, community, and clever thinking.
